Synopsis

Following the sellout success of its first tour in 2018/19, MATILDA THE MUSICAL, the multi award-winning musical from the Royal Shakespeare Company, inspired by the beloved book by Roald Dahl, is heading back out on tour across the UK and Ireland from October 2025.

In celebration of 15 years on stage since opening at the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, and following performances in 100 cities across 17 countries worldwide, MATILDA now returns to Leicester.

With book by Dennis Kelly, music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and directed by Matthew Warchus, MATILDA is the story of an extraordinary little girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.

Winner of over 100 international awards, including 24 for Best Musical, the ‘unique and unforgettable’ (Rolling Stone) global phenomenon, MATILDA has now delighted over 12 million audiences worldwide.
